On the new website where the socially conservative group attempts to claim religious hostilities are at an all time high, Family Research Council staffers write the following about an incident involving Frank Turek:

But the truth? Frank Turek does not simply believe in man/woman marriage. This is of course what groups like FRC and NOM always say in order to justify their work. However, Frank Turek, like FRC, believes that gay people are themselves broken and in need of "changing."

Ex. 7: Here's some visual of Frank Turek giving lengthy speeches to captive audiences telling them that gays can and should "change":

Ex. 8: Here's some audio of Frank Turek saying gays may be "trying to do the work of the enemy" and pushing the dangerous myth that all lesbians are sexually abused:

(from a strategy speech delivered at a 2012 Concerned Women For America conference)

But FRC doesn't want to own any of this. They never do. It's always the people who point out the dangerous rhetoric who they frame as in the wrong, not the people who, well, you know—ACTUALLY PEDDLED THE DANGEROUS RHETORIC!!!!!!

This is what has to stop. Equality activists are ready to have this conversation in the public sphere. All we ask is that groups like FRC and individuals like Frank Turek stand by what they have chosen, on their time and volition, to put forth to a receptive public! In fact this isn't an ask—it's a demand.
